Description: STABILIZED CURABLE ADHESIVES Technical Field This invention relates to epoxy-acrylate compositions that are photopolymerizable to give stabilized heat-curable film adhesives and to adhesives thereby obtained, which are particularly suitable for use in bonding substrates such as metals, glass, ceramic, wood, plastics, paints, and the like. Background of the Invention The automotive, aerospace, consumer appliance, and other industries require adhesives that have a combination of properties such as high durability, resistance to continuous exposure to high temperatures and good adhesion to a wide range of substrates. Epoxy resin adhesives have often been used in the form of liquid adhesives for these applications requiring structural and semi-structural bonding. Several difficulties occur when a liquid adhesive is used, such as evaporation of solvent, loss of adhesive from the required bonding area and uneven distribution of adhesive over the surfaces to be bonded. Use of adhesives in film form eliminates difficulties which may occur when a liquid adhesive is used. One conventional method of producing film adhesives involves dissolving a solid resin composition in a volatile organic solvent, pouring the resulting solution onto a flat surface and then evaporating the solvent to leave a film of the resin composition. In another conventional method of making a film adhesive, a solid resin composition is heated to its softening point, extruded through a slit and then cooled to form a solid film. These conventional methods have associated disadvantages. Use of a volatile solvent usually gives rise to toxicity and/or flammability problems, while evaporation of the solvent has expensive energy requirements and solvent recovery equipment is needed if costly wastage is to be avoided. Heating, whether for evaporation of the solvent or to soften the solid composition prior to extrusion, often results in advancement (polymerization) of the resin, shortening the shelf life of the resulting film adhesive and leading to its premature cure. Summary of the Invention In one aspect, this invention provides a stabilized curable adhesive prepared from a formulation comprising: (1 ) at least one free radically polymerizable monomer, such as, acrylates and/or methacrylates; (2) at least one epoxy functional monomer; (3) at least one free radical polymerization photoinitiator; (4) a thermally-initiated cationic catalyst system comprising: (a) at least one salt of an organometallic cation, wherein the salt of the organometallic cation is selected from a class of substituted and unsubstituted aromatic compounds based on a benzene or cyclopentadienyl nucleus, the metal atom is a transition metal atom, and the anion is tetrafluoroborate, hydroxypentafluoroantimonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate, hexafluorophosphate, hexafluoroarsenate, or hexafluoroantimonate; (b) at least one stabilizing additive; (5) optionally, at least one alcohol-containing material; and (6) optionally, adjuvants. In another aspect, this invention provides an adhesive article comprising at least one substrate having on at least one major surface thereof the stabilized curable adhesive as described above. In another aspect, this invention provides a method for preparing a stabilized adhesive comprising the steps of: (1 ) providing a carrier web; (2) preparing a curable composition comprising: (a) at least one free radically polymerizable monomer; (b) at least one epoxy functional monomer; (c) at least one free radical photoinitiator; (d) a thermally-initiated cationic catalyst system comprising: (i) at least one salt of an organometallic cation, wherein the salt of the organometallic cation is selected from a class of substituted and unsubstituted aromatic compounds based on a benzene or cyclopentadienyl nucleus, the metal atom is a transition metal atom, and the anion is tetrafluoroborate, hexafluorophosphate, hexafluoroarsenate, hydroxypentafluoroantimonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate, or hexafluoroantimonate; and (ii) at least one stabilizing additive; and (3) coating the curable composition onto the carrier web; (4) polymerizing component (a) by exposing the curable composition to radiation to activate the free radical photoinitiator to provide a heat-curable film adhesive; and (5) exposing the heat-curable film adhesive to a temperature sufficient to cure component (b) to provide a fully cured adhesive. In yet another aspect, this invention provides an adhesive article comprising: (a) at least one substrate; (b) a heat curable film adhesive prepared according to the process described above in steps 1 to 4. Advantageously, the film adhesives utilize photoinitiated free-radical initiators and thermal-initiated cationic catalysts. The adhesive compositions of the present invention have longer shelf life in the heat- curable film adhesive state, that is, they retain the desired physical properties of a pressure sensitive or hot melt adhesive for a longer period of time than art known heat-curable adhesives. A further advantage is the radiation curing of a photopolymerizable component of a film adhesive composition, followed by thermal curing of the epoxy component is one method of eliminating disadvantages associated with conventional adhesive compositions.

They can be also substantially unreactive, such as fillers both inorganic and organic. These adjuvants, if present are added in an amount effective for their art known purpose. The free-radical initiator can be selected from those compounds that generate free-radicals upon exposure to radiation, for example, those compounds described in "Mechanisms of the Photodecomposition of Initiators" George F. Vesley, Journal of Radiation Curing, January, 1 986, or in Chemistry & Technology of UV & EB Formulations for Coatings, Inks & Paints, Volume III, Photoinitiators for Free Radical and Cationic Polymerization, SITA Technology, London, 1991 . Preferably, the free radical initiator is an σ-substituted acetophenone or a mixture thereof with a thioxanthone or a benzophenone. In particularly preferred embodiments, the initiator is a benzil dialkyl ketal. For partially polymerizing alkyl acrylate monomers without crosslinking, and to prepare acrylate-containing syrups, the following photoinitiators, either alone or in combination with each other, are found useful and include: the benzoin ethers (such as benzoin methyl ether or benzoin isopropyl ether), substituted benzoin ethers (such as anisoin methyl ether), substituted acetophenones (such as 2,2- diethoxyacetophenone and 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone), substituted alpha-ketols (such as 2-methyl-2-hydroxypropiophenone), aromatic sulfonyl chlorides (such as 2-naphthalene-sulfonyl chloride) and photoactive oximes [such as 1-phenyl-1 ,1-propanedione-2(o- ethoxycarbonyDoxime] .

When used in the adhesive curable composition, the free radical initiators may be used in amounts that range from 0.01 to 5.0 % by weight of the free radically polymerizable monomer, preferably 0.1 to 2 % by weight.

For example, the first class are Schiff bases and can be described by formula 1 : (1 ) wherein R is a radical moiety that can be the same or different and is selected from substituted and unsubstituted C- to C 1 0 alkyl groups, substituted and unsubstituted groups of one to four aromatic rings, wherein two to four rings can be fused or unfused rings; R 2 is hydrogen or R 1 ; when R 2 is R 1 , R 1 and R 2 can be taken together to form a cyclic ring having 5 to 7 ring atoms; R ** * is R or divalent group (as when d = 2) selected from alkylene, having 2 to 10 carbon atoms and phenylene groups; and d is 1 or 2. These stabilizers are compounds known as Schiff bases and are generally made by the condensation of a ketone or aldehyde with a primary amine. They can be prepared by the general methods described in U.S. Patent No. 4,909,954. In preferred compounds, d is 2, R 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group and R 2 is hydrogen, and R 3 is a divalent bridging group such as an alkylene or phenylene group. A second class of stabilizing additives are those having the following formula: wherein Z is nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic or antimony; c is 1 or 2; and R 1 and Rr are as defined above. Examples of this class of stabilizer include, trialkyl, tricycloalkyl, tri(alkγlcycloalkyl), triaryl, and trialkaryl amines, phosphines, phosphine oxides, arsines, and stibines. Useful tertiary amines are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,503,21 1 and such description is incorporated herein by reference. The preferred stabilizers of this class include triarylphosphines, triarylstibines, and substituted and unsubstituted dialkylaryl tertiary amines. A third class of useful stabilizing additives are those having formulas 3 and 4: wherein R 4 is hydrogen or R 3 , and each R 4 may be independently selected and is as defined above; furthermore R groups may be taken together to form one or more cyclic rings, each ring having 5 to 7 ring atoms. Examples of this stabilizer includes substituted and unsubstituted phenanthroline compounds, the most common substituents being alkyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, the preferred phenanthroline being 1 ,10-phenanthroline; and wherein R 4 may be independently selected and is as defined above. Examples of this stabilizing additive include substituted and unsubstituted tripyridyltriazine compounds, the preferred tripyridyltriazine being 2,4,6-tripyridyltriazine. Examples of useful substituting groups for R 1 . R 2 , R 3 or R 4 all of which preferably have less than 30 carbon atoms and up to 10 heteroatoms, are selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbyloxycarbonyl, hydrocarbylcarbonyl, hydrocarbylcarbonyloxy, cyclohexanecarbonyloxy, hydrocarbylcarbonamido, halo, dimethylamino, diphenylphosphino, diphenylarsino, diphenylstibine, trimethylgermane, tributyltin, methylseleno, ethyltelluro, trimethylsiloxy groups, and aromatic rings, such as cyclopentadienyl, phenyl, naphthyl, and indenyl. A suitable mixture that includes salts of organometallic complex cations and the free radical photoinitiator are those combinations that upon application of sufficient energy, such as thermal, accelerated particle (electron beam), or electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from about 200 to 700 nanometers, will generate an active species capable of catalyzing the polymerization of the compositions of the invention. Any convenient source of energy providing radiation in the region of the spectrum that overlaps the absorption bands of the photoinitiators can be used to activate free radical formation. The radiation can be monochromic or polychromic, incoherent or coherent, and for high efficiency should correspond closely in wavelength to the principal absorption bands of the initiators and should be sufficiently intense to activate a substantial portion of the free radically polymerizable mixture (for syrup preparation) or the curable adhesive composition (final curable composition. The initiator system is present in a catalytically effective amount to initiate curing of the epoxy monomer components of the adhesive compositions. Typically, the initiator system (at least one salt of an organometallic cation and at least one stabilizing additive) can be present in the range of 0.01 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 5 % by weight of the total polymerizable composition. The mole ratio of the salt of the organometallic cation to the stabilizing additive is generally in the range of 1 : 10 to 10:1 , preferably 1 :5 to 5: 1 , when the additive is a class 1 , 2 or 4 type compound. When the additive is a class 3 compound, the mole ratio of the salt of the organometallic cation to the stabilizing additive is generally in the range of 1 :5 to 1 :30, preferably 1 :6 to 1 :25. The level of catalytic activity will, of course, depend on the choice of metal, ligands, counterions in the organometallic salt, and the amount the organometallic salt. Furthermore, the level of catalytic activity will also be affected by the choice and amount of the stabilizing additive. Temperature of polymerization and amount of initiator system used will also depend on the particular polymerizable composition used and the desired application of the polymerized product. When preparing the curable compositions, solvents, preferably organic, can be used to assist in dissolution of the cationic initiator system and as a processing aid. It may be advantageous to prepare a concentrated solution of the organometallic complex salt in a small amount solvent to simplify the preparation of the polymerizable composition. Useful solvents are lactones, such as j/-butyrolactone, -valerolactone; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone; sulfones, such as tetramethylene sulfone, 3-methylsulfolane, 2,4-dimethylsulfolane, butadiene sulfone, methyl sulfone, ethyl sulfone, propyl sulfone, butyl sulfone, methyl vinyl sulfone, 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethanol, 2,2'- sulfonyldiethanol, sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide; cyclic carbonates such as propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate and vinylene carbonate; carboxylic acid esters such as ethyl acetate, methyl cellosolve acetate, methyl formate, and other solvents such as methylene chloride, nitromethane, acetonitrile, glycol sulfite and 1 ,2-dimethoxyethane (glyme). In some applications, it may be advantageous to adsorb the initiator onto an inert support such as silica, alumina, clays, as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,677,137, incorporated herein by reference. The curable adhesive composition can be prepared using a free- radically polymerizable syrup (also referred to as "syrup"), that is partially polymerized free radical monomers ( 0.001 % to 15.0% conversion), or a mixture of partially polymerized free radical monomers and substantially unpolymerized epoxy monomers, and optional adjuvants. Method 1 A first step in the preparation of a syrup is to mix free radically polymerizable monomers with a catalytically effective amount of a free radical initiator. Preferably, the free radical photoinitiator is not a crosslinking agent and is generally present in an amount within the range of 0.001 to 5.0% by weight of the polymerizable composition, preferably in the range of 0.01 to 1 .0% by weight of the polymerizable composition. A second step is to apply energy to the free-radically polymerizable composition to allow it to polymerize such that the viscosity is increased to within a range of 300 to 20,000 cps (0.3 to 20.0 Pascal seconds) at ambient temperature. Preferably, the viscosity after this step is in the range of 500 to 4000 cps (0.5 to 4.0 Pa-sec). The increased viscosity provides a syrup that is more suitable as a coating composition for production of the articles of the invention. The polymerizable composition may be polymerized using any well-known free-radically polymerization technique and quenched with air to attain the desired viscosity. Preferably, the free radical initiator is a photoinitiator, and the partial polymerization may be stopped at any point by eliminating the irradiation source. A third step is to mix the cationically polymerizable monomers and optional alcohol-containing material into the syrup. A fourth step is to mix at least one organometallic complex salt, and a stabilizing additive optionally, into an amount of solvent sufficient to dissolve the salt and additive. This solution is then added to the syrup of step three. Optional bireactive free radically polymerizable monomer, bifunctional monomer, adjuvants and additional amount of the above- identified free radical initiator may be added to the syrup at this time. A fifth step is to degas the curable compositions under vacuum to remove bubbles, dissolved air, oxygen, and the like. Although it is preferable to do this step just prior to coating, it may be carried out at any time from a few hours to several weeks prior to coating. To insure stability of the degassed curable compositions, it is preferable to keep them from unwanted exposure to light. Method 2 A first step in this alternative preparation for a syrup is to mix the polymerizable monomers (cationically and free radically polymerizable monomers) with a catalytically effective amount of a free radical initiator. Preferably, the free radical initiator is not a crosslinking agent and is generally present in an amount within the range of 0.001 to 5.0% by weight of the polymerizable composition, preferably in the range of 0.01 to 1.0% by weight of the polymerizable composition. A second step is to apply energy to the polymerizable composition to allow the free radically polymerizable monomers to polymerize such that the viscosity is increased to within a range of 0.3 to 20.0 Pascal seconds (Pa'sec) at ambient temperature. Preferably, the viscosity after this step is in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 Pa'sec. The increased viscosity provides a syrup that is more suitable as a coating composition for production of the articles of the invention. The polymerizable composition may be polymerized using any well-known free-radically polymerization technique and quenched with air to attain the desired viscosity. A third step is to mix at least one organometallic complex salt, the stabilizing additives and any optional bireactive free radically polymerizable monomer, bifunctional monomer, adjuvants and additional amount of the above-identified free radical initiator into the syrup of step two. A fourth step is to degas the curable compositions under vacuum to remove bubbles, dissolved air, oxygen, and the like. Although it is preferable to do this step just prior to coating, it may be carried out at any time from a few hours to several weeks prior to coating. To insure stability of the degassed curable compositions, it is preferable to keep them from unwanted exposure to light. Generally, the polymerizable composition can be polymerized by any well-known free-radical polymerization techniques and quenched with air to attain the desired viscosity. It is preferable to use a photoinitiator as the free radical initiator in this process, such that the partial polymerization may be stopped at any point by eliminating the irradiation source and then quenching polymerization with oxygen. Furthermore, it is preferable to use a low intensity irradiation source in this photochemical process and that the mixture be cooled during irradiation. Low intensity irradiation and cooling minimize gel formation during the syrup making process. By "cooling" is meant to keep the composition at or below room temperature. Once the curable adhesive compositions have been prepared either using Method 1 or Method 2, the compositions can be coated onto a carrier web and photocured to produce the heat-curable adhesive of the present invention, having an enhanced shelf life retaining the pressure sensitive or hot melt adhesive properties for a time period longer than similar art known epoxy-acrylate heat-curable adhesives. The curable adhesive compositions can be coated onto the carrier web using any art known coating techniques, such as knife or roll coating. The compositions are coated to a dry thickness that range between 0.025 to 2.5 mm. An adhesive article is provided by coating a carrier web with a curable adhesive composition according to either Method 1 or 2 above. Once the composition has been coated, the curable composition is irradiated in the range of 200 to 700 nanometers with sufficient energy to cure the free-radically polymerizable component and produce a heat- curable adhesive. Advantageously, the heat curable adhesive can retain the characteristics of a pressure sensitive or hot melt adhesive until final application. For final application, the adhesive article comprising a carrier web coated with the heat curable adhesive can be applied to an appropriate substrate wherein the heat curable adhesive is then heat cured to produce a fully cured adhesive, that is to fully cure the epoxy portion of the adhesive. The carrier web may be removed either before or after heat curing. The fully cured adhesive provides high durability, resistance to exposure to high temperatures and good adhesion to a wide range of substrates. Suitable sources of heat to cure the compositions of the invention include induction heating coils, ovens, hot plates, heat guns, IR sources including lasers, microwave sources, etc. Suitable carrier webs and substrates useful to provide articles of the invention include, for example, metals (for example, aluminum, iron, steel, copper, cadmium, zinc, nickel, silver), glass, paper, wood, various thermoplastic or thermoset films (for example, polyethylene terephthalate, plasticized poly vinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene), cloth, ceramics and cellulosics, such as cellulose acetate. Particularly useful carrier webs have surface properties that allow the webs to function as release liners, such conditions and properties being well known to those skilled in the art. Objects and advantages of this invention are further illustrated by the following examples, but the particular materials and amounts thereof recited in these examples, as well as other conditions and details, should not be construed to unduly limit this invention. All materials are commercially available or known to those skilled in the art unless otherwise stated or apparent.

This energy is measured in Joule/gram (J/g). The exotherm profile, i.e. peak temperature, onset temperature, etc., of the exotherm provided information on conditions that are needed to cure the material. The onset temperature 0 " onset ) is the point of intersection between the tangents drawn to the curve along the baseline, and after the onset of the exotherm at the point of maximum change in slope. The integrated energy under an exothermic peak is related to the extent of cure. For a stable composition, more of that exotherm energy should remain with time indicating that the composition is not curing prematurely. For an unstable composition, the exotherm energy will decrease more rapidly with time indicating that the composition has undergone some degree of cure prematurely. Tensile Strength Tensile tests were conducted following the method described in ASTM 628-87 Tensile Testing Methods standard. Tensile test samples were prepared by curing the adhesive between the silicone coated liners at the temperatures and time specified and then cutting specimens using an ASTM 628-87 Type IV die. The samples were tested at a strain rate of 5 cm/min. An Instron Model 1 122 tensile tester was used for the tests. Ultimate tensile strength is reported in MPa and is the strength at break, percent elongation is reported in % using the crosshead movement as a measure of elongation, energy at break is reported in Newton-meters (N-m) and is the area under the stress-strain curve. Overlap Shear Strength Samples were prepared by cutting 12.7 mm x 25.4 mm specimens from the adhesive film. The silicone release liner was removed from one side of the specimen and the exposed adhesive was applied to one end of a 25.4 mm x 50.8 mm test coupon (either 0.9 mm thick electrocoated steel or 1.7 mm aluminum). The silicone release liner was removed from the other side of the specimen and another coupon was placed over the adhesive such that there was a 12.7 mm overlap of the coupons and with the uncoated ends of the coupons aligned in opposite directions from each other. The coupons were clamped together and thermally cured. The prepared samples were cooled for at least 1 hour at about 22 °C before testing. The lap shear was determined using an Instron Model 1 122 tensile tester according to ASTM Test Method D1002-72 with a crosshead speed of 5 cm/min. The lap shear strength was reported in megaPascals (MPa).
